Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop's recovery from a right knee injury has taken longer than initially expected, but nearly two months after going on the disabled list, Schoop is scheduled to go on a minor league rehab assignment later this week.
With extended spring training in Sarasota, Fla., concluded, Schoop joined the team in Baltimore on Monday, continuing his rehab with early work at second base before Monday's game. He will work out with the team through Thursday and is slated to report to Double-A Bowie on Friday to begin his rehab assignment.
"It's really exciting," Schoop said of being back with his teammates.
